Authors Affiliations: Washington State University College of Nursing, Spokane, Washington (Dr Firestone); Linfield University School of Nursing, Portland, Oregon (Dr Johnston); Oregon Health and Science University School of Nursing, Portland, Oregon (Dr Portanova-Frenz); and Emory Nell Hodgson Woodruff School of Nursing, Atlanta, Georgia (Dr Jones).
Background: Unfolding case studies are an active learning strategy that help students integrate knowledge with practical experience, enhancing clinical judgment and easing their transition into professional practice.
Problem: Chronic pain, a complex health issue, is often inadequately addressed in nursing curricula, leaving prelicensure nursing students unprepared to manage pain effectively in clinical practice, contributing to the academic-practice gap.
Approach: Using an evidence matrix, faculty interviews, and syllabi analysis across 4 programs, gaps in chronic pain concepts were identified.
